Jack in the Box spokesman Brian Luscomb confirmed to CBS San Francisco that the company did source meat from several companies, including one that processed meat originating at the now-closed Rancho Feeding Corp. Jack in the Box and other fast food chains were not on the original USDA list of potential distributors of meat from Rancho because they serve what is considered a finished product as opposed to ground beef or other grocery products.

“This was never a food safety issue for Jack in the Box,” said Luscomb, who added that any meat that may have originated at Rancho had long since been removed from the company’s supply.
